- What's so difficult about this? All you have to do is check if the mouse
- is over an object with flags "EDITABLE" and you change the mouse to
- TEXT_CRSR, and you change the mouse back to ARROW when it's not in there.
- The way to keep the mouse from flickering is just to check the last mouse
- type. There's really nothing to it!

- Absolutely. The last thing we need is another GEM standard... Sheesh!
